Kappatoo 2 (1992). S02 E01 = "TIME AFTER TIME" [review]

"Two years after the events of the first series, Kappatoo and his computer watch Simon on the histogram and see that he keeps suffering from a recurring nightmare of himself being sucked into the black hole that he accidentally sent himself to at the end of the first season. It transpires that after rescuing him, Kappatoo had a memory freeze placed on Simon and Steve so that they do not remember anything about Kappatoo and the time swap. Kappatoo worries that it may be wearing off. While he is relaxing at the local café, Zeta’s, a friend of his rushes in and inform him that Sigmasix has been released from psycho correction and is being returned home. Kappatoo returns to his dome and his computer advises him that Sigmasix must apologise to him as part of his release, but has serious doubts that the psycho-correction has had any effect. Kappatoo meets Sigmasix at Zeta’s, as arranged, so he can apologise, which he does. Sigmasix is then placed into the custody of his aunt, Zeta 8, who agrees to be held responsible for any of his actions; Kappatoo still cannot believe he has changed. Once Sigmasix and Zeta return to her dome, it immediately becomes apparent that he has not changed and vows to get revenge on Kappatoo. It also becomes clear that Zeta bought Sigmasix out of psycho-correction with the sole intention of getting revenge on Kappatoo, for the damage that Sigmasix being caught time-travelling and being sent to psycho-correction has done to the family name. Zeta knows the truth and intends to expose Kappatoo as a real-time criminal.

Apart from having the same nightmare, Simon seems to be leading a normal life and has no memory of his time swap with Kappatoo. Together with Steve, Lucy and her friend Sharon, he heads off to Devon to spend the summer holiday on his Uncle Brian’s farm. It transpires that Simon knows nothing about his Uncle Brian, as he suspects that he has loads of money. This turns out not to be the case, as Brian, his wife Hazel and their daughter Melonie lead a simplistic lifestyle. Steve soon begins to regret coming, especially as he and Simon have to sleep in an old caravan. But the appearance of Simon’s really attractive cousin Melonie soon changes his mind, as they both immediately fall in love with her and volunteer to help out with her duties while they are there."
